AB  - Hip joint replacement is one of the most useful and most successful orthopedic surgery in patients
with dysfunction of the joint. Since improving the quality of life in these patients isthe main objective of
treatment and care, self-care is required. This study aimed to study the effect of self-care education on quality
of life for patients with hip joint replacement. In this clinical trial non-randomized by control group, 60 patients
admitted to two selected hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences were selected asconvenience
sampling and were divided into two intervention and control groups (each n = 30). Data collection tools
included demographic profile questionnaire and quality of life questionnaire SF-36. At the beginning,
demographic profile form was filled out by the participants. Then, the patients in the intervention group were
given self-care education using the training manual for 5 sessions of 45-30 min. The quality of life questionnaire
SF-36 was completed by the patients at the day of clearance from hospital and 8 weeks after clearance.
The data were analyzed by SPSS 20 Software using descriptive and inferential statistics.The mean score of
quality of life in both control and intervention groups, 2 months after the intervention was not significantly
difference (p = 0.073). But, changes in quality of life scores on clearance and 2 months after intervention in
intervention group compared with the control group was significantly different and it was higher in the
intervention group (p<0.001). Self-care education is effective in improving the quality of life for patients with
hip joint replacement.
